“Why would anyone?” He lifted the suitcase into the truck bed.

“I don’t know, but whatever his motivation, he’s given us some interesting information, and I think we should move on it.”

“I suppose you want to head over to Redmond’s.”

“I think we should.”

We?

She didn’t do we. Hadn’t done we since her days working as a police officer and the betrayal that had nearly taken her life. Matthew’s actions had only cemented her certainty that she was better off on her own. She’d made that clear to Kane when she’d accepted the job he’d offered.

Yet there she was, getting ready to check out a potential crime scene with Jonas.

She frowned, wishing she’d grabbed her cell phone from the suitcase. She could have charged the phone, made a call to Kane and let him know just how unhappy she was to have Jonas around.

Only she wasn’t unhappy.

That was the truth, and she always tried to tell it. Even to herself.

Having Jonas around was…comforting.

Or maybe not.

Comforting was a warm fire on a cold day, a faithful old dog pattering through the house at night, the first rays of sun after a storm.

Jonas wasn’t comforting.

He was excitement and anticipation and safety all rolled into one.

And that terrified her.

Everyone she’d ever loved had betrayed her in one way or another. Everyone she should have been able to count on had failed her. She didn’t want to be disappointed or betrayed again. Not by anyone, but especially not by Jonas.

And that, she decided, was the most terrifying truth of all.
